I'm restoring my 1960 TR3 and currently working on the front suspension. I bought some replacment parts a while back (a bushing replacment kit from Moss I think). When I started to replace bushings on the fulcrum and trunnion pins, the fit seems pretty sloppy. There does not appear to be any significant corrossion or wear on the pins. Could the replacment parts be out of spec? It just seems that the bushings in thsi area should fit pretty snug. I've read as much as I can find in the manual and some restoration books but still feel uninformed.
Are there specs for the pin sizes and clearances? I've got a pretty good shop and maybe it would be easier to make some parts myself. Maybe I need to get the bushing kits from a better vendor.
Any advice or places I should look for a walk thru? I'm kind of new at this so I feel pretty green.
Thanks
Ike
